I found all the people who made the unhinged ultradense unusably elaborate winamp skins back in the day! They're now making watch faces in the Garmin app store. -

Wow firefox makes it hard to add custom search engines. If you're using google and want it to default to the quietly launched "web results only no AI shit" view:Wow firefox makes it hard to add custom search engines. If you're using google and want it to default to the quietly launched "web results only no AI shit" view:
Open about:config, set the pref "browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh" to true. You may have to create the pref, or it may exist and be false.
Open about:preferences#search, scroll to bottom, you can now add a search engine (that's what the pref above does)
Add engine for https://www.google.com/q=%s&udm=14, save, make default.

(also please don't suggest kagi, while I would gladly pay for a decent search engine kagi is more than a little fash and also drinking the AI koolaid as fast as it can be dispensed)

If you're using google and want it to default to the quietly launched "web results only no AI shit" view:@julian I don't know of anything egregious. They're also breathlessly running into AI and trying to make a thing that answers questions instead of trying to be the best index of the web, and that's a shame. They also get most results from Bing, but again that's pretty par for the course for smaller engines.
So
if you can turn off the AI dross, or you like the AI dross, seems plausibly okay? -

If you're using google and want it to default to the quietly launched "web results only no AI shit" view:I've also been pointed to https://udm14.com/ , which after loading the site you can right-click the URL bar and add a "udm14" search engine, which you can then make the default. At time of writing this, I've verified that the OpenSearch engine definition (https://udm14.com/search.xml) sends queries straight to google with no intermediary, and also does _not_ come with an auto-update configuration that might silently change that later.
